I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in South Dakota, and I work exclusively via telehealth — which means I can see clients from anywhere in the state, whether you're in Sioux Falls, a reservation community, or a town with one stoplight. I have a background in school counseling, which means I understand how kids think, how families work, and how what happens at school follows everyone home. I work with people of all ages — from young children to seniors — including military families, new and expecting mothers, adults carrying old trauma, and anyone somewhere in the middle of a hard season. I tend to be warm but direct. I won't waste your time dancing around what's actually going on.
Hello, I'm Carolyn, and I'm here to help! I am here to assist with lifestyle, anxiety, and sleep-related issues, offering a personalized and non-judgmental approach to support your personal growth and overall well-being.
Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.
I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.
Tired of pretending everything is, ok? All the while, you're in your own private battle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or grief. Life stress is inevitable. However, lack of support and distress tolerance skills can make managing life's stressors nearly impossible. It's exhausting keeping on that mask. How are you really though?
I have over10 years' experience as a therapist and 15 in social work field. I offer person centered and strength focused care to meet individuals and families in their unique places in life. I happily see patients from 5-100+. I have a special place in my heart and practice for teens, young adults, and parents raising little humans.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering personalized, evidence-based support to individuals of all ages. I have over 13 years of experience in healthcare, and I hold degrees in both Sociology and Nursing. I have a strong desire to make a meaningful difference in mental health care.
With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.
I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, end of life concerns, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or simply struggling to cope with life's demands.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sioux Falls
Searching for therapists in Sioux Falls starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, while others work with relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Sioux Falls therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. Therapist bios can also show whether someone uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a mid-size city like Sioux Falls, your search may include both local offices and virtual appointments with therapists licensed in South Dakota. In-person therapy may work well if you prefer a regular office setting, while virtual sessions can add more options when schedule, commute, or location matters. To narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session style, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Sioux Falls can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
